Chapter 10: "Telling Mom and Dad"

A/N: Sorry for the wait. Writers block sucks. I look forward to reading your reviews. Enjoy!

The next day Nazz was released from the hospital and Kevin had offered to drive her home since her parents were tied up at work.

"Are you sure you're not mad at me for not answering you? I'd understand if you were." Kevin said for the fifth time since picking her up.

Nazz sighed for what felt like the hundredth time. "Kevin, for the fifth time, I'm not mad at you OR Edd. I knew you two needed time to figure things out."

An hour and a half later Kevin finally arrived home. Once he had helped Nazz onto her couch her mom came home and demanded he stay for lunch. Kevin knew there was no use in arguing with Debbie so he ended up staying and filling in both mother and daughter on what had happened with Edd. Kevin was finally able to get away when he mentioned that he had plans with Edd. Nazz definitely got her nosiness from Debbie. Kevin thought to himself. I don't know how August can handle the two of them. August Von Bartonschmeer was a very physically imposing man but when it came to his two girls he was an absolute softie. August would do anything for his girls.

Kevin's ringtone brought him out of his thoughts, seeing his caller id he saw it was Edd. "Hey babe, sorry I just got home and forgot to call you" Kevin said, he still couldn't believe he was dating Edd.

"I know, I saw you arrive a few minutes ago. Can I come over?" Edd asked shyly.

"Doors open, see you soon" Kevin replied and hung up.

A few minutes later Kevin's front door opened. "Hey babe, don't you usually knock?" Kevin called from his kitchen. "Do you want coke, gatorade, or water?" he asked.

"Kevin, honey I'm a married woman" a woman's voice replied.

"Yeah and is that anyway to greet your mother? Especially when there's a guest?" a male voice added.

Kevin paled as he turned around to see his parents standing in the entryway looking way too amused for his taste. Edd was still at the door looking just as uncomfortable as Kevin felt.

"Uh hi mom, hey dad, I didn't think you were coming home so soon." Kevin said while rubbing the back of his neck.

"We couldn't stand another day with your grandparents so we just drove straight here" Jaxson Barr explained.

Ellie Barr looked at Edd still standing in the doorway. "Come on in sweetheart, it's drizzling outside."

I guess now is as good a time as any to tell them we're dating Kevin thought to himself as he walked over to Edd and interlaced their fingers.

"Mom, Dad, you remember Edd right?" Kevin asked. His parents nodded and he continued. "He's my boyfriend. We're dating now."
